The mission of the Legal Office is to provide a complete range of quality legal
services to the American University of Kurdistan in an efficient, reliable,
and professional manner. This requires constant internal contact with persons
at all levels of administration of the University, including the University
President, Vice Presidents, Deans, Department Chairs, and Directors, as well as
the Board of Trustees.
In carrying out this mission, the office will provide advice, education, and counsel
on matters involving laws, regulations, policies, and procedures applicable to the University.
The Legal Office is committed to high-quality service, efficiency, courtesy, fairness,
ethical principles, equal opportunity, and diversity and inclusion.
The Legal Office is one of the important offices reporting to the President of
the American University of Kurdistan. The Office is committed to providing
high-quality legal services, leadership in proactively managing and coordinating
AUK’s legal affairs, and supporting and enhancing the University's educational,
research, and public service mission.
The webpage was developed so that the University’s community, as well as the public,
may become more familiar with the Legal Office and its functions and operations.
We also want to inform the members of the American University of Kurdistan about
legal issues of importance in their role as administrators, faculty, or staff.
You are always invited and encouraged to contact our office for assistance on matters
affecting the University.
